Title: My first attempt at reproducing decals / 86 FST update
Post by: Blue70 on March 19, 2008, 11:30 PM
OK..

So this is my first attempt at reproducing some decals for my 86 FST..

I wanted some FST decals but in the Sport colors, so I made my own.

I took a set that was purchaced, and then scanned them and corrected a few issues with the originals.

Then I changed the colors on the decals, and changed the seatpost tube decal from Master to FST..

There are a couple small things I would have to fix if this was not a bike to be ridden

1st... The FST font is just a tad large compared to my originals,
2nd... The shadow around the lettering is a bit too dark
(looks dark on the decal photos, but it's not that dark in person.. it looks more like the bike photos)
3rd... i think if it was on a dark colored bike the color might bleed through a bit..
(He printed two sets, so I am going to have to waste a set testing it..)

Anyway, here's the decals
